Forcing Kids to use AI
From Artificial Insanity · 01:01:15
Show by Sophie and Jess
This week we are furious about Google turning AI on by default in classrooms back in August, and on Tuesday it agreed to make it opt-in. The catch is that schools that don't opt in lose Google Search entirely. Jess tests Gemini's guided learning mode and gets a full AP US History essay out of it in two tries. Also - The blue tsunami hit, and Big Tech got swept out with it. We recorded this 48 hours after the midterms, and the numbers are wild: at the time of recording the Dems had flipped 43 House seats and seven Senate seats, including Texas, South Carolina and Kansas. Elon lit more than $200 million on fire trying to keep Texas red. The AI super PACs ran the crypto playbook and lost almost everywhere, and voters told exit pollsters that AI PAC money made them less likely to back a candidate. Voters rejected AI data centers in 40 of 41 ballot measures, and one poll found Americans would rather live near a prison, a methadone clinic or a nuclear power plant than an AI data center. Sam Altman responded with a tweet even Sophie can't parse, and we ask whether Anthropic now pushes its IPO to 2027. The one sour note: California voted down the billionaire tax.Plus OpenAI wants you to call data centers 'compute campuses', and Tipsy Rose tries to Shawshank her way through a bedroom door.Hosted by two women, Sophie and Jess, this podcast covers AI’s impact on society and culture, breaking down AI news headlines and going deep on meaty topics with fun and accessible conversations, expert guests, comedy, tears, swearing, and wild takes.
